Baily's beads during the Stanton eclipse

The other day I flew to observe the eclipse of Stanton by the moon of Crusader – Daymar. Surprise to me, I, as an astronomy amateur and a man who watched a solar eclipse with my own eyes, saw Baily’s beads. This is a short-term optical phenomenon during the full phase of the eclipse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%27s_beads). And although in the game, this effect is not the same as in life, I’m very excited and hope that in the future developers will think through this issue and then the optical astronomical phenomena in the game will look even more and more realistic.
